Hero’s friend Rahul Ramakrishna is superb as the friend who supports the hero all time. His role is the biggest key for Arjun Reddy’s impact. Rest of the supporting cast is pretty good.
 
Technical Department :
 
The set up is so contemporary that no Telugu film has come out like this in the recent time. The film looks raw, sober and at the same time quite wild. This is ably supported by the brilliant background score and amazing camera work. Director Sandeep Reddy is a man to watch out for as he has put the Telugu cinema on to another level. He has dreamt of things which no one could and has also succeeded in it which is a great thing in Telugu films.
